Help with antifreeze leak
Ok, I have a 94 F150 302 4x4...
I just did a motor swap. Everything went good except now i am leaking antifreeze that looks to be coming from the bottom of the heads/block on both sides. I 2 stage torqued the heads down when i put them on and used Felpro gaskets. The oil is fine, not milky so why are these leaking and are they leaking from somewhere else? Any help is appreciated as i'm frustrated as HELL with this. Do i have to let the truck run for an hour or so for everything to swell up and seal? Thanx.

check the lower head bolts they might go into water some do some don't I can't remember..... but if they do go into water they will leak and it looks like it's the head gasket....
...start to take one of the lower head bolts out and if it leaks they go into water might have to seal the threads with some thread sealer.
